The SimuLife Diaries, part five: I just brokered a tech deal worth $1.29 billion

At SXSW 2018, I was invited to take part in a four-day immersive story experience called a SimuLife. Mounted by the Austin-based creative lab Interactive Deep Dive, SimuLife is meant to blur the line between fantasy and reality by letting me interact with the story as part of daily life. Its like David Finchers movie The Game, executed in the real world. Other than those broad edicts, I wasnt given any advance information about the experience. Im documenting my journey through the story  wherever it leads.
